Pentecost        

The feast of Pentecost remembers how the early Christians took their message onto the streets with enthusiasm and energy. Pentecost Celebrations want to capture something of that same spirit of celebration.  People from across Merseyside normally gather in Hope Street to celebrate the Christian Festival of Pentecost. Inspired by the Pope’s visit to the city in 1982, this event has become a regular annual feature of life in Liverpool.

Pilgrims of Hope 2025

On Pentecost Sunday a joyful celebration march of Pentecost took place journeying together between Liverpool Cathedral and the Metropolitan Cathedral. This symbolic walk started at Liverpool Cathedral and united communities in faith, reflection and joy. The event brought together Christians from across the city and beyond.


Leaving the Anglican Cathedral

Celebrations  began with a short act of worship at Liverpool Cathedral, followed by a walk along Hope Street to the Metropolitan Cathedral where we heard the story of Pentecost told in an usual and very moving way.

Gathering on the piazza of the Metropolitan Cathedral

After the blessing people visited stalls linked to the Jubilee themes.  The choirs of both cathedrals and a Salvation Army Band were highlights of the day at both Cathedrals/along Hope Street and Melling Baptist Choir beckoned us as we approached the Metropolitan Cathedral. The giant family games were well enjoyed too.
